Eric Holder’s Hidden Agenda: The investigation isn’t about torture, but about transnationalism.

"I believe the explanation lies in the Obama administration’s fondness for transnationalism, a doctrine of post-sovereign globalism in which America is seen as owing its principal allegiance to the international legal order rather than to our own Constitution and national interests.

"Recall that the president chose to install former Yale Law School dean Harold Koh as his State Department’s legal adviser. Koh is the country’s leading proponent of transnationalism. He is now a major player in the administration’s deliberations over international law and cooperation. Naturally, membership in the International Criminal Court, which the United States has resisted joining, is high on Koh’s agenda. The ICC claims worldwide jurisdiction, even over nations that do not ratify its enabling treaty, notwithstanding that sovereign consent to jurisdiction is a bedrock principle of international law."

“Does the average registered liberal or moderate Democrat know by whom and by what their party has been hijacked?”

Pat Caddell asks the same question.

PAT CADDELL, a Democratic consultant (of whom Ann Coulter says, “He is probably the world’s sanest Democrat.”), on the Glenn Beck program August 27, 2009:

Caddell: People outside at the very ends come together in totalitarianism. And by the way, there are wacko Republicans and we could name them, but I am concerned right now in my own party [Democratic], that we seem to be infiltrated by forces. And it’s all part of this we must win at all costs. The politicians-—it’s the thing with ACORN that drives me crazy. This is a criminal organization designed to stop people and steal votes.

Moderate Democrats in my party-—the Republicans don’t know how to raise this issue. The fact is, with the things that are going on...These politicians take an oath to defend the CONSTITUTION against all enemies foreign and domestic, not an oath to protect the Democratic party or the Republican party, and that’s what we are missing here. And I am saying, I am concerned that my party [Democratic] is being sabotaged. And Moderate Democrats better come and deal with what’s happening to us.

Beck: I think there’s 70% or 80% of this country, they want no part of this.

Caudell: At least 80%. They think the politicians work for themselves

Beck: On both sides of the aisle.

Caudell: Yes
.....................
Caddell on 1000 page bills, and Eric Holder and “whose running the show here.”

See Glenn Beck video clip, Glenn Beck program, 8/24/09:
http://www.freedomslighthouse.com/2009/08/democrat-pollster-pat-caddell-tells.html

Caddell: I am of the democrats of the common man. That’s where I come from. This is a different Democratic Party.
Washington has made itself the ENEMY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.”

Beck: Would you say that it’s revolutionary?

Caddell: I would say that it is ELITIST; that it knows best.
......................

Caddell on 1000 pg bills -— “the dog that’s not barking.”

Caddell: I think they are flooding the zone....Sending out so many things that nobody can cover it all. But what bothers me is a question that should be asked. I was with an administration and the President comes in [Carter], a President who had not been experienced in Washington-—and 6 months in, people were still trying to find where the bathrooms were.

Where did all these pieces of programs come from in this kind of detail? Where do you get 1000 pages or 1300 pages one after the other in such a short amount of time? Those are the questions that somebody ought to ask because it’s the dog that’s not barking.
.......................

Caddell on Eric Holder and CIA investigation:

Glenn Beck: People think Obama is using the unions. Is it possible that it is the other way around, and I just don’t mean just the unions-—these vast organizations-—that he is not necessarily the grand architect; that somebody else has sketched this out?

Caddell: I got to tell you, this question hit me today...when the Attorney General Eric Holder, who I have not been publicly very fond of ever since he decided to go in the bag on China on the treasons and trying to buy our elections during the Clinton administration; and gave Marc Rich a pardon, one of the most evil men that ever walked the face of the earth, and this covering up.

And now [Holder] decides that Black Panthers, who carry guns into precincts, should not be prosecuted!

But despite the President saying we are going to move on on interrogation policy [Holder] announces he is going to have a special prosecutor today and appoints one and [President says] “I’m going with it.”

Who is running the show here? For the first time, I have to ask myself, Is Barack Obama really in control here? Either he is disingenuous, which I wish not to believe about the President of the United States, or maybe the question is, Who is really in control here?....

The President said we were going to move on; the country said move on on the interrogation policy. Eric Holder announces he is going to have a special prosecutor today. He’s under pressure from the ACLU, fromMoveon.org-—from many of the very, very most liberal groups in my Party; I consider the most extreme groups in my Party.

Why isn’t HE being investigated!

SO, who is the Revolutionary Communist Party and what do they advocate? ETL cites their own website.

The RCP calls for the armed overthrow of the U.S. government...

From the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party (revcom.us or rwor.org) :

“Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.

And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.”:

http://revcom.us/a/v20/1000-1009/1000/barw.htm
..............

Did they say they would like to see “a major crack in the system ...that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle.”

“wage a revolutionary ARMED struggle?”

Aren’t they the kind of subversive people the government (and Conyers) is paid to worry about?

What is CONYERS’ job? “#19 Subversive activities affecting the internal security of the United States. “
...................

IS THE FOX GUARDING THE HEN HOUSE?

Is Conyers protecting ACORN (an organization whose underhanded/criminal? deeds are so publicly known that they have become a national joke).

He was for it, then against it, then for it. Should such a confused man be chairing such an important committee as the House Judiciary Committee?

He defended ACORN in October 2008:
Mr. Conyers, who is known for his drive to continue investigating the Bush administration, previously defended ACORN. In October, he condemned an FBI voter fraud investigation targeting the group. He questioned whether it was politically motivated to hamper a voter-registration drive targeting groups likely to support Mr. Obama’s candidacy.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/mar/20/conyers-suggests-probe-of-acorn/

Then on March 19, 2009 John Conyers was enlightened:

John Conyers suggests a Congressional probe “after scathing testimony about the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) during a hearing on various voting issues related to the 2008 presidential election.”
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/mar/20/conyers-suggests-probe-of-acorn/

Two weeks later, on May 4, Conyers’ neural synapses malfunction and he backs out of ACORN probe saying,

“Based on my review of the information regarding the complaints against ACORN, I have concluded that a hearing on this matter appears UNWARRANTED at this time.”

Meanwhile, in Nevada, just HOURS BEFORE Conyers’ made his “hearings unwarranted” statement-—

his fellow Democrats in Nevada, Secretary of State Ross Miller and Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto dropped a bombshell.

ACORN and two former senior ACORN employees in the state, they announced, had been charged with a total of 39 felony counts related to voter registrations.
http://spectator.org/archives/2009/05/07/conyers-kills-acorn-probe
................
Conyers said WHAT?

Questioned by the Washington Times about his decision to go back on his decision, he said, “”The powers that be decided against it,”

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jun/26/conyers-backs-off-probe-of-acorn-practices/?feat=home_headlines

The “powers that be decided against it”? Is he hearing voices? Schizophrenic? HE was the “power that be” that decided ACORN should be investigated!

Conyers chickens out of ACORN probe
By Michelle Malkin • May 8, 2009 05:15 AM
http://michellemalkin.com/2009/05/08/conyers-chickens-out-of-acorn-probe/

[On May 4, 2009] Democrat Rep. John Conyers backs down from his pledge to investigate ACORN fraud: Bok, bok, bok.

Matthew Vadum zeroes in on the right question: What happened in a mere two weeks to change Conyers’ mind? Did he get a call from friends of ACORN in high places? Did he get something else? Why drop the call for a congressional probe in the very same week that ACORN criminal charges have been filed in Nevada and Pennsylvania?

What gives? Or who gives?
***
Related ACORN news: $53 million taxpayer funds for ACORN since 1994 and now the group is eligible for up to $8 BILLION more, according to Kevin Mooney at the Examiner.
...............

Is the fox guarding the hen house? The investigator needs to be investigated. Is this just the tip of the iceberg?

CONYERS ON THE JOB-—exercising his power over “THE POWERS THAT BE”!!!

President Barack Obama states he will not pursue prosecution of CIA officials. He wants the country to move forward:

http://blogs.abcnews.com/george/2009/04/obama-adminis-1.html

George Stephanopoulos exclusive interview with Rahm EmanueL April 19, 2009:

Stephanopoulos: “The president has ruled out prosecution for CIA officials who believed they were following the law. Does he believe that the officials who devised the policies should be immune from prosecution?”

Emanuel: “He came up with this [statement] and worked on this for about four weeks. Wrote that statement Wednesday night after he had made his decision and dictated what he wanted to see. And Thursday morning I saw him in the office, he was still editing it. He believes that people in good faith were operating with the guidance they were provided,”

Stephanopoulos: What about those who devised the policy?

Emanuel: “Yeah, but those who devised the policy, he believes that they were, should not be prosecuted either.”

“And it’s not the place that we go, and as he said in that letter, and I would really recommend people look at the full statement, not the letter, the statement, and that second paragraph:

“This is not a time for retribution. It’s a time for reflection. It’s not a time to use our energy and our time in looking back and in a sense of anger and retribution.’ We have a lot to do to protect America. But what people need to know? This practice and technique, we don’t use anymore. We banned it.”

.........................
Conyers, apparently displeased with the decision of his President (justice champion that he is), addressed his sense of injustice in a speech to the National Press Club on July 27, 2009.

(the very speech made famous for his quip on the impossibility of reading the Health Care bill, “What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?”)

In that speech to the Press Club, John Conyers broached a subject dear to his heart, and, in bold defiance of his President, challenged “THE POWERS THAT BE” and demanded that Atty General Eric Holder appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the Bush administration.
http://www.detnews.com/article/20090725/POLITICS03/907250351/1025/POLITICS03/Rep.-Conyers-calls-for-Bush-adminstration-review-by-special-counsel

“Eric Holder must appoint a special counsel to review the Bush Administration abuses of power and misconduct. A criminal probe; he’s got to do that.”

Look at Conyers go! It would take an additional few weeks for Eric Holder and the President of the United States to capitulate to Conyers, but capitulate they did-—less than one month later.

Is that the way it happened?

House Judiciary Committee chairman/chief Bush administration "torture" investigator, democrat John Conyers Jr of Michigan is an endorser of the Revolutionary Communist Party movement/organization, "World Can't Wait--Drive Out the Bush Regime" (they'll probably be dropping the "Drive Out the Bush Regime" portion of their name soon).

Former Abu Ghraib Brigadier General, Janis Karpinski, is also an endorser of the revolutionary communist org...

Click on the WCW link just below and see: "Endorsers of the Call to Drive Out the Bush Regime Include". Conyers' endorsement appears right after Ward Churchill's. Al Sharpton's, Maxine Waters and Jesse Jackson's are further down the list. Former Black Panther, Illinois congressman Bobby Rush, is on the list as well. (the BPs were Maoist revolutionaries/domestic terrorists). Karpinski's name appears several after convicted cop killer/Black Panther, Mumia Abu-Jamal's.

Debunking the Deranged Charges by Media Darling Col. Karpinski

Let's see... the media needed to find someone to play along with their Haditha madness so who better than the... discredited, delusional, blaming, angry, and paranoid Colonel Janis Karpinski of Abu Ghraib fame who has mysteriously moved from villainess to hero in the eyes of the mainstream media.

Well, maybe not so mysterious since Karpinski is now a crowd favorite for the Far Left enthusiasts.

Karpinski with fellow extremist and Castro supporter Harry Belafonte at the January "International Commission of Inquiry On Crimes Against Humanity Committed by the Bush Administration"

Colonel Karpinski is a definite crowd pleaser with the anti-war crowd for her strange attacks on the military and Bush Administration.

John Conyers’ Socialist and Islamic History Exposed http://doctorbulldog.wordpress.com/2006/12/08/john-conyers-socialist-and-islamic-history-exposed/

Having already exposed Nancy Pelosi as a communist in a previous posting, we are now treated to an article that claims John Conyers is also a socialist commie, as well as a dhimmi:

The Pelosi and Conyers team: Helping terrorists and illegal aliens
By Jim Kouri, Canada Free Press; 12/08/2006

It didn’t take long before the new Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and the new chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Rep. John Conyers started making noises on how they can further undermine efforts to protect Americans from terrorist attacks.

Speaker-elect Pelosi (D-CA) is co-sponsoring the “End Racial Profiling Act,” according to syndicated columnist Sher Zieve. The proposed bill is said to have been prompted by the recent removal of six Muslim imams, who are reported to have acted in a decidedly provocative manner, from a US Airways’ flight. The problem with using this act to curb so-called profiling is that the persons who demanded the removal of the suspcious Muslims do not work for the US government.

Pelosi and Conyers are calling for the end of all racial profiling, additional severe limits placed on the Patriot Act and the implementation of broad-based US citizenship for illegal aliens....

The other co-sponsor of the bill is Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), who is also reportedly preparing documents that would to lead to Articles of Impeachment against President Bush. He is an interesting man.

Conyers’ congressional office manages an Arabic version of his official website. Reportedly he does the bidding of these inner-city constituents and the militant Islamist activists who feed off them.

They want to squash the Patriot Act and put a leash on the FBI agents, including stopping them from profiling Muslim suspects in terror investigations. They also want to end the use of undisclosed evidence against suspected Arab terrorists in deportation proceedings even if they are in the country illegally. And the 77-year-old Conyers has vowed to deliver those changes for them.

In January 2003 he was the only member of Congress to speak before, and lend his prestige to, an anti-war rally organized by the Marxist-Leninist, pro-North Korean front group International A.N.S.W.E.R. (Rep. Rangel also addressed the rally but not in person — via a letter read by another speaker.) Conyers embraced his comrades in this group with the same enthusiasm and support he gave during the Cold War to the Soviet-backed World Peace Council.

In a New York Times opinion piece he co-authored with Marcus Raskin, co-founder of the extreme left-wing think-tank the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), Conyers asserted that “government’s responsibility is to revitalize the nation’s economy through creative forms of public ownership” — in other words, through socialism.

As I reported earlier on these pages, Rep Conyers is the highest ranking politico working to free Mumia Abu-Jamal, the convicted murderer of a Philadelphia police officer. Conyers has been a National Executive Board member of the National Lawyers Guild (NLG), which was originally created as a Soviet front and still embraces its Communist heritage.

Conyers is one of the top recipients of donations from the Arab-American Leadership PAC. And not surprisingly, he has a long history of pandering to Arab and Muslim voters, according to Investors Business Daily.

During the first Gulf War, for instance, Conyers fought FBI outreach efforts in the Arab and Muslim community in Detroit that were designed to gather intelligence on potential cells and protect the home front. Conyers and other Detroit-area Democrats at the time, David Bonior and John Dingell, threatened to hold hearings unless the FBI stopped counterterrorism interviews.

The FBI met with them privately to explain the national security benefits of outreach, but could not allay their concerns. In the end, the FBI backed off. Today, Hamas, Hezbollah and the Al-Qaeda-tied Muslim Brotherhood are all active in the area.

Expect Conyers and Pelosi to kick open the doors of Congress to Islamists from the Council on American-Islamic Relations and other militant groups. They will have unfettered access, even though many of their leaders have been tied to terrorism (some CAIR officials have landed in the big house).

In 2003, Conyers hosted the first dinner on the Hill that celebrated the end of Ramadan for such Muslim leaders. It’s now a tradition. Incoming Democrat freshman Keith Ellison, a Louis Farrakhan disciple and first Muslim member of Congress, will no doubt expand the invitation list.

Syndicated columnist Debbie Schlussel reported that on June 13, during the Muslim American Society fundraising dinner for Islamic Relief, a charity with links to the Muslim Brotherhood, Conyers and his wife were the guests of honor.

They watched and clapped as the Sanabel Al-Quds “dancing” troop from Milwaukee — featuring boys as young as seven — sang in Arabic of martyrdom and jihad for Allah and Palestine. They didn’t need to understand Arabic, as the young boys used a rifle to simulate killing and pistol-whipping, simulated throat-slittings and beheadings, and dishonored the American flag. [I saw this video]

Another contributor to the Pelosi-Conyers Fifth Column is the mainstream news media who constantly told Americans prior to the November 7 elections that people such as Pelosi, Conyers and others are really moderating their positions. They are moderates compared to Mao Zedong.
